An excruciating movie. Grace is unbearable. Her husband is a stiff, selfish wimp. Both so selfish they use their only child as a go-between and interpreter for their agonizing travails. He has no outlet except an occasional chat with kind fellow students and is trapped in his parents' emotional drama.

Excruciating, yet riveting. Annette Bening is very good as needling, annoying, poetry and self-obsessed Grace. Hubs is the tall, silent, ever -suffering foil. He leaves his only child to clean up the sudden carnage in his wake.

A cautionary tale for only children. Don't let unfair toxic parents steal your joy. Josh O'Connor is excellent as the entangled son, Jamie. He also wins the prize as the only likable main character.

The late economist Walter Williams often discussed the transplant industry. It's big money, folks, but the main ingredient to the prosperity, the donor (surviving family) get nothing out of it. It's ghoulish to contemplate, but it is true.

This movie is an excellent window into what happens inside Big Transplant . The acting is superb. It's not a fun movie. But if you want a good look into medical ethics and great performances from surprising actors, this is for you.

The film is excellent and riveting. All the performances are very good. What about all the foreign actors playing Americans?? (tee hee - I think PC cultural appropriation victimhood is not enjoyed by Americans). I paid close attention, but am not sure what was really going on, so I want to watch it again. I am genuinely interested to try and nail it all down and spend more time with it. Could be a sign of a good movie.
